“As a child, I danced to the pop music of my father’s disco-mobile. On the door of his van I was painted in a pink tutu. I raced from galas to motocross competitions. My father loved the dancer he had painted on his van and I loved that my father loved her. I will never become the pink tutu dancer painted on the C35 and yet it is thanks to her that I dance as I dance today.”
– Maud Le Pladec

The autofiction project Moto-Cross has its source in this parable. A look into the past, that of Maud Le Pladec, as well as into French political and musical events since the 1980s.
